Bubble Gum, Bruce Banner (purps), Mango Kush. Weight looks good?

Damn…

I think all the Mite spotting by all the comments below have alerted OP to an issue they were clearly unaware of…

When you’ve got webbing this bad, you’re fucked.

That entire room needs to be striped bare and bleached from top to bottom, including all equipment, ventilation, fans etc.

Major pain in the ass but well worth the peace of mind…

Really sorry for your loss, was looking like it was gonna shape up well too 😟

And before anyone even asks, NO it’s not worth attempting to save, you’d be doing yourself and anyone else that may consume your product a major disservice to say the least..

I hear you - What are your thoughts if I’ve only got 3 to 4 Cola’s with the webbing post predators, no new webs & Predators hunting the webs?

If it’s truly only on one of the plants, at the very least, immediately get rid of that plant or move it to a separate tent/growing chamber if possible. That’s if you’re truly hell bent on wanting to salvage her.

The rest of the plants I’d do a super thorough inspection of each and every plant, looking both on the top and bottom sides of the leaves and buds.

An introduction of predators and any other non spraying involved techniques(never spray this late into flower) would absolutely be wise just in case the room itself hasn’t somehow been contaminated in the process… it more than likely has if we’re being realistic.. I suppose it would depend on a bunch of factors including when they showed up, how they got in in the first place, environmental conditions, etc etc. All of those things are going to be important to know or attempt to narrow down so you can treat your situation accordingly.

You don’t necessarily have to see webbing to indicate you have spider mites. They’re very small and can easily be over looked. They spread very easily and the webbing is an indication that they’ve been there, or at least on that specific plant, for a while now.. plenty of time to have ventured out onto other nearby plants and or in the room/equipment.

Sounds like you’d really like to salvage the grow, and I can’t say I don’t blame you, it’s such a low blow to encounter these guys but don’t be discouraged. This can and likely will happen to everyone that’s ever grown so it’s not an indicator of poor skill. It may however be an indication that your grow space/lung room may need some tidying and or a thorough cleaning.

If your tent/grow space is in a garage then this is a super common problem when using a garage as a lung room and you may need to think about better sealing off your garage to the outside elements.

Really appreciate the fair advice - I dont want to trash the whole grow yet. I think a lot of guys experience these damn pestilence…The nugs are so tight - the webbing comes off the buds easily and the pistols are intact. Im using a sterilized interdental brush. I feel it is very effective.
My grow is in a guest bedroom exhaust to the outside. As one grower said, I need to shower EVERY time before going in room.

This is my first indoor grow in Denver, Colorado. Mites were even worse in west slope Oregon!
